The Special Lady Line Homeless Shelter spot-light
Featured Artists Joanna Ballard The Spotted Olive About Johnna Crider Question for this week (answer will be pub-lished in the next edition)
JohnnaCrider
Who is a special lady and
what is her purpose? I am a
special lady and my purpose is
to use my art to help others.
While doing that, I thought
that I should spotlight all the
Special Ladies out there and
include artwork for them—
artwork that benefits women
and children’s shelters.
Currently, the Special Lady
products can only be pur-
chased on Zazzle.com by a
member, but membership is
FREE and, though most of the
sales will go to Zazzle for the
product creation, the design
(my part) pay will be accumu-
lated to help selected wom-
en’s and children’s shelters.
If you wish to purchase or see
the Special Lady line, go to:

Homeless shelter spotlight: Atlanta Union Mission

emergency shelter to as many as
354 men, women and children at
two separate campuses. Guests

Guests also have access to social
workers who make referrals to
community resources for those

recovery or job help.

Joanna Bal-
lard is a tal-
ented artist
from North-
west LA,
whose art
cannot be
put into one
category—its
virtually im-
possible! Her poetic art, storytelling skills,
digital photography, her performance—and
did I mention her writing skills?—are off the
chain.
Joanna is a member of the Shreveport
Bossier Trapped Truth Society and is one of
the founders of the West Edge Artist Co-Op.
She is also a member of the Shreveport
Writers Registry, the Northwest Louisiana
Art Gallery—just to name a few. She also
promotes the Louisiana Folk band, Henry
Turner Jr. and Flavor—whose music is just
jazzy.
Ms. Ballard began her career as a storytell-
er when she was just a child—she loved
making up her own songs and stories. She
also earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Eng-
lish with a minor in Theater Arts from
Southern Arkansas University in Mag-
nolia, AR in 1986. Her art has won
numerous awards and shows over the
years.
I want to encourage you to take a look
at Joanna’s stuff on her MySpace
page at www.myspace.com/
ballardsbytes and check out her home
page as well at http://

Quote from the artist
“Words, sound and color to me, are
exciting, and challenging in any medi-
um! I enjoy exploring and sharing my
‘stories’ in many avenues to a wide
and varied audience.
Harmony and Peace,
Joanna Ballard
